Insightful Comments On Life As I See It

Have You Met The New You?

I have never found evidence of the long-sought after fountain of youth, but I do know that Paul wrote to the Ephesians about renewal:

If you have heard Jesus and have been taught by Him according to the truth that is in Him, then you know to take off your former way of life, your crumpled old self—that dark blot of a soul corrupted by deceitful desire and lust— to take a fresh breath and to let God renew your attitude and spirit. Then you are ready to put on your new self, modeled after the very likeness of God: truthful, righteous, and holy. ~Ephesians 2:21-24

Paul says you have the opportunity to get rid of the old, step into a new life, and take a fresh breath of life. Spiritual renewal shapes you into the “likeness of God,” and you begin to realize that you are:

Forget your former way of life, “that dark blot of a soul corrupted by deceitful desire and lust.” Embrace the new you. It’s time to “take a fresh breath and to let God renew your attitude and spirit.”
